___ Michelle Obama is teaming up with some big names in hip hop to help release a Let’s Move! inspired album next month.

Entitled “Songs for a Healthier America,” the record features video cameos (but no singing) of the first lady along with big names like Jordin Sparks, Ashanti, Run DMC, Doug E. Fresh and Monifah.

The 19-track album with song titles like “U R What You Eat” and “Veggie Luv” is being released by the Partnership for a Healthier America, an independent group found in conjunction with Let’s Move.

Ten music videos released with the album are set to be distributed to schools in New York City before being circulated to other major cities.

2. Classic acts still move product.

4. OK!

don't get me wrong, I'm very supportive here.

Just...Run DMC? Didn't they quit the music industry to become preachers?

[riqster]

5. Damfino. But Little Richard did, and his stuff still sells.

I figure they are thinking of selling to the parents as well as the kids

8. Run DMC Was, Is, and will Always be the shit-

didn't you get the memo?

[Little Star]

3. That is so cool! k&r

6. they should add lil john.. "eat your vegetables fool... WHAT!"

7. I think it's corny.

You can be the judge as to whether I am in favor FLOTUS making a rap record about eating veggies, or if it's just plain old corny! Which is better than eating your frozen peas!

HA!!

(of course, you're not necessarily a 'baked' bean, just because you hail from Boston. lol)

9. Even if this ends up beings spoofed> it still gets the subject matter out there

to raise our societal awareness.

11. I'm no fan of hip-hop in general, but this sounds promising

This would be a great way to reach out to the younger generation in this country.
